People inside prison have above-average rates of childhood and adult victimization. Little is known, however, about the relationship between types of victimization inside prison and that experienced in childhood. This article estimates rates of victimization for male and female inmates by type of perpetrator and form of victimization (sexual, physical, either, or both) and their association with types of childhood victimization (sexual or physical). Data for these estimates are based on a random sample of approximately 7,500 inmates housed in 12 adult male prisons and one adult female prison in a single state. The significance of the findings for practice are discussed along with recommendations to improve the health and welfare of people inside prison.
监狱中的人遭受童年和成年期侵害的比例高于平均水平。然而，对于监狱内侵害类型与童年期所经历的侵害之间的关系却知之甚少。本文按犯罪者类型和侵害形式（性侵害、身体侵害、其中之一或两者皆有）估算了男性和女性囚犯遭受侵害的比例，以及这些比例与童年期侵害类型（性侵害或身体侵害）之间的关联。这些估算数据基于对某一州12所成年男性监狱和1所成年女性监狱中约7500名囚犯的随机抽样。文中讨论了这些研究结果对实际工作的意义，并提出了改善监狱中人员健康和福利的建议。
